    PARAJANOV.COM NEWS (27 September 2005)

    Sir Paul McCartney used the Armenian instrument duduk
    on his new record "Chaos and Creation in the
    Backyard". The song is called "Jenny Wren" and duduk
    is interestingly played by Pedro Eustache. Of course,
    Macca should have invited the virtuoso Djivan
    Gasparyan but maybe the "cute Beatle" hasn't met him
    yet... Duduk is constantly used in Hollywood
    blockbusters and can also be heard in Sergei
    Parajanov's masterpiece SAYAT NOVA.

    The 93 year old Michelangelo Antonioni received
    sensational standing ovations at the LACMA Museum in
    Los Angeles, when he appeared there on 17 September
    2005 after the screening of his THE GAZE OF
    MICHELANGELO and BEING WITH ANTONIONI by his lovely
    wife Enrica Fico Antonioni. The event was attended by
    the world's first Chechnya-born filmmkaer, the
    Armenian master Mikhail Vardanov, director of the
    influential documentary PARAJANOV: THE LAST SPRING.

    The President of Finland Tarja Halonen visited the
    Parajanov Museum during her visit to Armenia. It's a
    great honor! It'd intersting to find out how Sergei
    Parajanov's museum was chosen instead of, say, the
    Matenadaran Museum.
